The award-winning Body Gossip campaign turned the body stories they’ve been collecting from all over the UK since 2006 into an anthology of more than 300 short stories.

Candid, at times funny, often controversial and always inspiring these stories cover topics ranging from pregnancy to disability, ethnicity to diets, and sport to ageing.

The book includes a foreword by Gok Wan, as well as entries from a number of high profile celebrities and politicians including Alesha Dixon, Anne Diamond, Nikki Grahame, Craig Revel-Horwood, Jermain Defoe and MP Lynne Featherstone.
